It's based on his first impressions of Philadelphia's

sign.)

Updates include better hoses, better horns, better couplers, other detail improvements, and a top view. Check 'em out. A forced change in jobs and a side project with the Entertainment Designer son (think Star Wars - check his website out if you're interested) are my excuses for the long haitus.

10/13/2011 - Updated the AB-6 and DR 6-4-1000 as per suggestion from Tom Brandt's well documented critique. Fixed a few links as well.

9/29/11 - The decals are awesome. I will actually have finished motive power for the empire! The RDCs will be first. Meanwhile, a few more CTR passenger cars have been updated and I've added line drawings of the BNSF Theater Car Glacier View in the Rolling Stock Page.

9/24/11 - Due to printing constraints, the CTR Logo had to be adjusted. The CTR Page and all of its links have been updated to reflect these changes. Yes, for those keeping score, I'm finally getting my custom decals. One step closer to making my empire more of a reality!
